　　Mrs Matthews lived in a small town where there was one jeweller's shop. It also took in watch repairs, although it had to send them off to London for the work to be done, as there was not enough business to keep an expert watch repairer occupied.

　　When Mrs Matthews's old father died, she inherited his gold watch, which had belonged to his father and grandfather before him. It was big and heavy and worth a lot of money, but it was broken, so Mrs Matthews took it to be repaired.

　　The man in the jeweller's shop was very interested to see such an unusual watch, and when he had examined its insides, he said he could certainly, have it repaired for her. “It'll last a long time once that's been done, ” he said. He wrote out a ticket and gave it to Miss Matthews saying, “Please bring this when you come to pick up the watch. But it might take a bit of time, because it isn't a modern watch.”

　　But Mrs Matthews had a lot of things to think about after her father died. She had to arrange to deal with the various affairs after his father's death.

　　The result was that she completely forgot about the watch that she had taken in for repair, and about the tick et for it, which she had put away in a drawer to keep it safe.

　　Then, while she was looking through some old drawers one day, she found the ticket for the watch repair.

　　She thought back, suddenly she remembered. “My father's gold watch! Didn't I pick it up? When did I take it in?”She looked at the ticket.

　　“How old's this ticket?” she said to herself. It was five years old.

　　Mrs Matthews had heard that shops could sell things that people had left with them if they didn't pick them up and pay for them before a certain time. “But the watch might still be there,” she thought. “I'll go and see if I can get it back. It might have been sold, but I hope not.”

　　She took the ticket to the jeweller's and the shop keeper looked at it and then went to look for the watch without saying a word.

　　“That's good,” Mrs Matthews thought. “He didn't seem to mind about the date.”

　　The man carne back after a few minutes and said, “It won't be ready until Friday.”
